5 Advanced Feature Summary
5.1 Drop-in Mode and LAN Bypass:
Transparent Deployment
As your organization grows, it needs more bandwidth. But modifying your network would
require effort better spent elsewhere. In Drop-in Mode, you can conveniently install your
Peplink router without making any changes to your network. And if the Peplink router loses
power for any reason, LAN Bypass will safely and automatically bypass the Peplink router to
resume your original network connection.
Compatible with: MAX 700, MAX HD2 (All variants), HD4 (All Variants)
5.2 QoS: Clearer VoIP
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual
http://www.pepwave.com
36
Copyright @ 2018 Pepwave
VoIP and videoconferencing are highly sensitive to latency. With QoS, Peplink routers can
detect VoIP traffic and assign it the highest priority, giving you crystal-clear calls.
5.3 Per-User Bandwidth Control
With per-user bandwidth control, you can define bandwidth control policies for up to 3
groups of users to prevent network congestion. Define groups by IP address and subnet,
and set bandwidth limits for every user in the group.
5.4 High Availability via VRRP
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual
http://www.pepwave.com
37
Copyright @ 2018 Pepwave
When your organization has a corporate requirement demanding the highest availability
with no single point of failure, you can deploy two Peplink routers in High Availability mode.
With High Availability mode, the second device will take over when needed.
Compatible with: MAX 700, MAX HD2 (All variants), HD4 (All Variants)

this IP address when WAN hosts access services provided by the Pepwave router
(web admin access from the WAN, DNS server requests, etc.).
To connect to hosts on the LAN (email notification, remote syslog, etc.), the default
gateway address will be used. The Pepwave router will listen for this IP address when
LAN hosts access services provided by the Pepwave router (web admin access
from the WAN, DNS proxy, etc.).
Shared IP
AddressA
Access to this IP address will be passed through to the LAN port if this device is not
serving the service being accessed. The shared IP address will be used in
connecting to hosts on the WAN (email notification, remote syslog, etc.) The device
will also listen on the IP address when hosts on the WAN access services served on
this device (web admin access from the WAN, DNS server, etc.)
WAN Default
Gateway
Enter the WAN router's IP address in this field. If there are more hosts in addition to
the router on the WAN segment, check the I have other host(s) on WAN
segment box and enter the IP address of the hosts that need to access LAN devices
or be accessed by others.

DHCP Server Settings
DHCP Server
When this setting is enabled, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address
to each computer that is connected via LAN and configured to obtain an IP
address via DHCP. The Pepwave router’s DHCP server can prevent IP address
collision on the LAN.
IP Range &
Subnet Mask
These settings allocate a range of IP addresses that will be assigned to LAN
computers by the Pepwave router’s DHCP server.
Lease Time
This setting specifies the length of time throughout which an IP address of a DHCP
client remains valid. Upon expiration of the lease time, the assigned IP address will
no longer be valid and renewal of the IP address assignment will be required.
DNS Servers
This option allows you to input the DNS server addresses to be offered to DHCP
clients. If Assign DNS server automatically is selected, the Pepwave router’s built-in
DNS server address (i.e., LAN IP address) will be offered.
WINS Server
This option allows you to optionally specify a Windows Internet Name Service
(WINS) server. You may choose to use the built-in WINS server or external WINS
servers.
When this unit is connected using SpeedFusionTM, other VPN peers can share this
unit's built-in WINS server by entering this unit's LAN IP address in their DHCP WINS
Server setting. Afterward, all PC clients in the VPN can resolve the NetBIOS names
of other clients in remote peers. If you have enabled this option, a list of WINS
clients will be displayed at Status>WINS Clients.

This is the International Mobile Subscriber Identity which uniquely identifies the SIM
card. This is applicable to 3G modems only.
MEID
Some Pepwave routers support both HSPA and EV-DO. For Sprint or Verizon Wireless EV-
DO users, a unique MEID identifier code (in hexadecimal format) is used by the carrier
to associate the EV-DO device with the user. This information is presented in hex and
decimal format.
ESN
This serves the same purpose as MEID HEX but uses an older format.
IMEI
This is the unique ID for identifying the modem in GSM/HSPA mode.

Automatic Public DNS Server Check on DNS Test Failure
When the health check method is set to DNS Lookup and health checks fail, the Pepwave router will
automatically perform DNS lookups on public DNS servers. If the tests are successful, the WAN may not be
down, but rather the target DNS server malfunctioned. You will see the following warning message on the
main page:
10.5 Dynamic DNS Settings
Pepwave routers are capable of registering the domain name relationships to
dynamic DNS service providers. Through registration with dynamic DNS service
provider(s), the default public Internet IP address of each WAN connection can
be associated with a host name. With dynamic DNS service enabled for a WAN
connection, you can connect to your WAN's IP address from the external, even
if its IP address is dynamic. You must register for an account from the listed
dynamic DNS service providers before enabling this option.
If the WAN connection's IP address is a reserved private IP address (i.e., behind a
NAT router), the public IP of each WAN will be automatically reported to the
DNS service provider.
Either upon a change in IP addresses or every 23 days without link reconnection,
the Pepwave router will connect to the dynamic DNS service provider to
perform an IP address update within the provider’s records.
The settings for dynamic DNS service provider(s) and the association of
hostname(s) are configured via Network>WAN>Details>Dynamic DNS Service
Provider/Dynamic DNS Settings.

Important Note
In order to use dynamic DNS services, appropriate host name registration(s) and a valid account with a
supported dynamic DNS service provider are required. A dynamic DNS update is performed whenever a
WAN’s IP address changes (e.g., the IP is changed after a DHCP IP refresh, reconnection, etc.). Due to
dynamic DNS service providers’ policy, a dynamic DNS host will automatically expire if the host record
has not been updated for a long time. Therefore the Pepwave router performs an update every 23 days,
even if a WAN’s IP address has not changed.

13 Bandwidth Bonding SpeedFusionTM / PepVPN
Pepwave bandwidth bonding SpeedFusionTM is our patented technology that
enables our SD-WAN routers to bond multiple Internet connections to increase
site-to-site bandwidth and reliability. SpeedFusion functionality securely connects
your Pepwave router to another Pepwave or Peplink device (Peplink Balance
210/310/380/580/710/1350 only). Data, voice, or video communications between
these locations are kept confidential across the public Internet.
Bandwidth bonding SpeedFusionTM is specifically designed for multi-WAN
environments. In case of failures and network congestion at one or more WANs,
other WANs can be used to continue carrying the network traffic.
Different models of our SD-WAN routers have different numbers of site-to-site
connections allowed. End-users who need to have more site-to-site connections
can purchase a SpeedFusion license to increase the number of site-to-site
connections allowed.
Pepwave routers can aggregate all WAN connections’ bandwidth for routing
SpeedFusionTM traffic. Unless all the WAN connections of one site are down,
Pepwave routers can keep the VPN up and running.
VPN bandwidth bonding is supported in Firmware 5.1 or above. All available
bandwidth will be utilized to establish the VPN tunnel, and all traffic will be load
balanced at packet level across all links. VPN bandwidth bonding is enabled by
default.

Important Note
Peplink proprietary SpeedFusionTM uses TCP port 32015 and UDP port 4500 for establishing VPN
connections. If you have a firewall in front of your Pepwave devices, you will need to add firewall rules for
these ports and protocols to allow inbound and outbound traffic to pass through the firewall.

13.2 The Pepwave Router Behind a NAT Router
Pepwave routers support establishing SpeedFusionTM over WAN connections
which are behind a NAT (network address translation) router.
To enable a WAN connection behind a NAT router to accept VPN connections,
you can configure the NAT router in front of the WAN connection to inbound
port-forward TCP port 32015 to the Pepwave router.
If one or more WAN connections on Unit A can accept VPN connections (by
means of port forwarding or not), while none of the WAN connections on the
peer Unit B can do so, you should enter all of Unit A’s public IP addresses or
hostnames into Unit B’s Remote IP Addresses / Host Names field. Leave the field
in Unit A blank. With this setting, a SpeedFusionTM connection can be set up and
all WAN connections on both sides will be utilized.
See the following diagram for an example of this setup in use:
One of the WANs connected to Router A is non-NAT’d (212.1.1.1). The rest of the
WANs connected to Router A and all WANs connected to Router B are NAT’d. In
this case, the Peer IP Addresses / Host Names field for Router B should be filled
with all of Router A’s hostnames or public IP addresses (i.e., 212.1.1.1, 212.2.2.2,
and 212.3.3.3), and the field in Router A can be left blank. The two NAT routers
on WAN1 and WAN3 connected to Router A should inbound port-forward TCP
port 32015 to Router A so that all WANs will be utilized in establishing the VPN.

14 IPsec VPN
IPsec VPN functionality securely connects one or more branch offices to your
company's main headquarters or to other branches. Data, voice, and video
communications between these locations are kept safe and confidential across
the public Internet.
IPsec VPN on Pepwave routers is specially designed for multi-WAN environments.
For instance, if a user sets up multiple IPsec profiles for a multi-WAN environment
and WAN1 is connected and healthy, IPsec traffic will go through this link.
However, should unforeseen problems (e.g., unplugged cables or ISP problems)
cause WAN1 to go down, our IPsec implementation will make use of WAN2 and
WAN3 for failover.
14.1 IPsec VPN Settings
Many Pepwave products can make multiple IPsec VPN connections with
Peplink, Pepwave, Cisco, and Juniper routers. Note that all LAN subnets and the
subnets behind them must be unique. Otherwise, VPN members will not be able
to access each other. All data can be routed over the VPN with a selection of
encryption standards, such as 3DES, AES-128, and AES-256. To configure IPsec
VPN on Pepwave devices that support it, navigate to Advanced>IPsec VPN.
A NAT-Traversal option and list of defined IPsec VPN profiles will be shown. NAT-
Traversal should be enabled if your system is behind a NAT router. Click the New
Profile button to create new IPsec VPN profiles that make VPN connections to
remote Pepwave, Cisco, or Juniper routers via available WAN connections. To
edit any of the profiles, click on its associated connection name in the leftmost
column.

Enter the remote peer’s public IP address. For Aggressive Mode, this is optional.
Local
Networks
Enter the local LAN subnets here. If you have defined static routes, they will be

Using NAT, you can map a specific local network / IP address to another, and the
packets received by remote gateway will appear to be coming from the
mapped network / IP address. This allow you to establish IPsec connection to a
remote site that has one or more subnets overlapped with local site.
Two types of NAT policies can be defined:
One-to-One NAT policy: if the defined subnet in Local Network and NAT Network
has the same size, for example, policy "192.168.50.0/24 > 172.16.1.0/24" will
translate the local IP address 192.168.50.10 to 172.16.1.10 and 192.168.50.20 to
172.16.1.20. This is a bidirectional mapping which means clients in remote site can
initiate connection to the local clients using the mapped address too.
Many-to-One NAT policy: if the defined NAT Network on the right hand side is an
IP address (or having a network prefix /32), for example, policy "192.168.1.0/24 >
172.168.50.1/32" will translate all clients in 192.168.1.0/24 network to 172.168.50.1.
This is a unidirectional mapping which means clients in remote site will not be able
to initiate connection to the local clients.

15.2.1 Algorithm: Weighted Balance
This setting specifies the ratio of WAN connection usage to be applied on the
specified IP protocol and port. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is
set to Weighted Balance.
The amount of matching traffic that is distributed to a WAN connection is
proportional to the weight of the WAN connection relative to the total weight.
Use the sliders to change each WAN’s weight.
For example, with the following weight settings:
Ethernet WAN1: 10
Ethernet WAN2: 10
Wi-Fi WAN: 10
Cellular 1: 10
Cellular 2: 10
USB: 10
Total weight is 60 = (10 +10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10).
Matching traffic distributed to Ethernet WAN1 is 16.7% = (10 / 60 x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to Ethernet WAN2 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to Wi-Fi WAN is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to Cellular 1 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to Cellular 2 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to USB is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.

15.2.2 Algorithm: Persistence
The configuration of persistent services is the solution to the few situations where
link load distribution for Internet services is undesirable. For example, for security
reasons, many e-banking and other secure websites terminate the session when
the client computer’s Internet IP address changes mid-session.
In general, different Internet IP addresses represent different computers. The
security concern is that an IP address change during a session may be the result
of an unauthorized intrusion attempt. Therefore, to prevent damages from the
potential intrusion, the session is terminated upon the detection of an IP address
change.
Pepwave routers can be configured to distribute data traffic across multiple
WAN connections. Also, the Internet IP depends on the WAN connections over
which communication actually takes place. As a result, a LAN client computer
behind the Pepwave router may communicate using multiple Internet IP
addresses. For example, a LAN client computer behind a Pepwave router with
three WAN connections may communicate on the Internet using three different
IP addresses.
With the persistence feature, rules can be configured to enable client
computers to persistently utilize the same WAN connections for e-banking and
other secure websites. As a result, a client computer will communicate using one
IP address, eliminating the issues mentioned above.
There are two persistent modes: By Source and By Destination.
By Source:
The same WAN connection will be used for traffic matching the rule and
originating from the same machine, regardless of its destination. This option will
provide the highest level of application compatibility.
By Destination:
The same WAN connection will be used for traffic matching the rule, originating
from the same machine, and going to the same destination. This option can
better distribute loads to WAN connections when there are only a few client
machines.
The default mode is By Source. When there are multiple client requests, they can
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual
http://www.pepwave.com
113
Copyright @ 2018 Pepwave
be distributed (persistently) to WAN connections with a weight. If you choose
Auto in Load Distribution, the weights will be automatically adjusted according
to each WAN’s Downstream Bandwidth which is specified in the WAN settings
page). If you choose Custom, you can customize the weight of each WAN
manually by using the sliders.
15.2.3 Algorithm: Enforced
This setting specifies the WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified
IP protocol and port. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to
Enforced.
Matching traffic will be routed through the specified WAN connection,
regardless of the health check status of the WAN connection. Starting from
Firmware 5.2, outbound traffic can be enforced to go through a specified
SpeedFusionTM connection.
15.2.4 Algorithm: Priority
This setting specifies the priority of the WAN connections used to route the
specified network service. The highest priority WAN connection available will
always be used for routing the specified type of traffic. A lower priority WAN
connection will be used only when all higher priority connections have become
unavailable.
Starting from Firmware 5.2, outbound traffic can be prioritized to go through
SpeedFusionTM connection(s). By default, VPN connections are not included in
the priority list.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual

Copyright @ 2018 Pepwave
Tip
Configure multiple distribution rules to accommodate different kinds of services.
15.2.5 Algorithm: Overflow
The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection
that has the highest priority and is not in full load. When this connection gets
saturated, new sessions will be routed to the next healthy WAN connection that
is not in full load.
Drag and drop to specify the order of WAN connections to be used for routing
traffic. Only the highest priority healthy connection that is not in full load will be
used.
15.2.6 Algorithm: Least Used
The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection
that is selected in Connection and has the most available download
bandwidth. The available download bandwidth of a WAN connection is
calculated from the total download bandwidth specified on the WAN settings
page and the current download usage. The available bandwidth and WAN
selection is determined every time an IP session is made.
15.2.7 Algorithm: Lowest Latency
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual
http://www.pepwave.com
115
Copyright @ 2018 Pepwave
The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection
that is selected in Connection and has the lowest latency. Latency checking
packets are issued periodically to a nearby router of each WAN connection to
determine its latency value. The latency of a WAN is the packet round trip time
of the WAN connection. Additional network usage may be incurred as a result.
Tip
The roundtrip time of a 6M down/640k uplink can be higher than that of a 2M down/2M up link because
the overall round trip time is lengthened by its slower upload bandwidth, despite its higher downlink
speed. Therefore, this algorithm is good for two scenarios:
All WAN connections are symmetric; or
A latency sensitive application must be routed through the lowest latency WAN, regardless of the
WAN’s available bandwidth.
15.2.8 Expert Mode
Expert Mode is available on some Pepwave routers for
use by advanced users. To enable the feature, click on
the help icon and click turn on Expert Mode.
In Expert Mode, a new special rule, SpeedFusionTM
Routes, is displayed in the Custom Rules table. This rule
represents all SpeedFusionTM routes learned from
remote VPN peers. By default, this bar is on the top of
all custom rules. This position means that traffic for
remote VPN subnets will be routed to the
corresponding VPN peer. You can create custom Priority or Enforced rules and
move them
above the bar to override the SpeedFusionTM routes.
Upon disabling Expert Mode, all rules above the bar will be removed.

IP Protocol
The IP Protocol setting, along with the Port setting, specifies the protocol of the service
as TCP, UDP, ICMP, or IP. Traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified
protocol at the specified port(s) is forwarded to the LAN hosts specified by the Servers
setting. Please see below for details on the Port and Servers settings. Alternatively, the
Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu can be used to automatically fill in the
protocol and a single port number of common Internet services (e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, etc.).
After selecting an item from the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu, the protocol
and port number remain manually modifiable.
Port
The Port setting specifies the port(s) that correspond to the service, and can be
configured to behave in one of the following manners:
Any Port, Single Port, Port Range, Port Map, and Range Mapping
Any Port: all traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol is
forwarded to the servers specified by the Servers setting. For example, with IP Protocol
set to TCP, and Port set to Any Port, all TCP traffic is forwarded to the configured servers.
Single Port: traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at
the specified port is forwarded via the same port to the servers specified by the Servers
setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Single Port and Service
Port 80, TCP traffic received on port 80 is forwarded to the configured servers via port
80.
Port Range: traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at
the specified port range is forwarded via the same respective ports to the LAN hosts
specified by the Servers setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to
Port Range and Service Ports 80-88, TCP traffic received on ports 80 through 88 is
forwarded to the configured servers via the respective ports.
Port Mapping: traffic that is received by Pepwave router via the specified protocol at
the specified port is forwarded via a different port to the servers specified by the
Servers setting.
For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Port Mapping, Service Port 80,
and Map to Port 88, TCP traffic on port 80 is forwarded to the configured servers via port
88.
(Please see below for details on the Servers setting.)
Range Mapping: traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified
protocol at the specified port range is forwarded via a different port to the servers
specified by the Servers setting.

16.1.1 UPnP / NAT-PMP Settings
UPnP and NAT-PMP are network protocols which allow a computer connected
to the LAN port to automatically configure the router to allow parties on the
WAN port to connect to itself. That way, the process of inbound port forwarding
becomes automated.
When a computer creates a rule using these protocols, the specified TCP/UDP
port of all WAN connections' default IP address will be forwarded.
Check the corresponding box(es) to enable UPnP and/or NAT-PMP. Enable
these features only if you trust the computers connected to the LAN ports.
When the options are enabled, a table listing all the forwarded ports under
these two protocols can be found at Status>UPnP / NAT-PMP.

NAT mapping rules can be defined for a single LAN IP Address, an IP Range, or an
IP Network.
Address
This refers to the LAN host’s private IP address. The system maps this address to a
number of public IP addresses (specified below) in order to facilitate inbound
and outbound traffic. This option is only available when IP Address is selected.
Range
The IP range is a contiguous group of private IP addresses used by the LAN host.
The system maps these addresses to a number of public IP addresses (specified
below) to facilitate outbound traffic. This option is only available when IP Range is
selected.
Network
The IP network refers to all private IP addresses and ranges managed by the LAN
host. The system maps these addresses to a number of public IP addresses
(specified below) to facilitate outbound traffic. This option is only available when
IP Network is selected.

Inbound
Mappings
This setting specifies the WAN connections and corresponding WAN-specific
Internet IP addresses on which the system should bind. Any access to the
specified WAN connection(s) and IP address(es) will be forwarded to the LAN
host. This option is only available when IP Address is selected in the LAN Client(s)
field.
Note that inbound mapping is not needed for WAN connections in drop-in mode
or IP forwarding mode. Also note that each WAN IP address can be associated to
one NAT mapping only.
Outbound
Mappings
This setting specifies the WAN IP addresses that should be used when an IP
connection is made from a LAN host to the Internet. Each LAN host in an IP range
or IP network will be evenly mapped to one of each selected WAN's IP addresses
(for better IP address utilization) in a persistent manner (for better application
compatibility).
Note that if you do not want to use a specific WAN for outgoing accesses, you
should still choose default here, then customize the outbound access rule in the
Outbound Policy section. Also note that WAN connections in drop-in mode or IP
forwarding mode are not shown here.
Click Save to save the settings when configuration has been completed.

18.1 User Groups
LAN and PPTP clients can be categorized into three user groups: Manager, Staff,
and Guest. This menu allows you to define rules and assign client IP addresses or
subnets to a user group. You can apply different bandwidth and traffic
prioritization policies on each user group in the Bandwidth
Control and Application sections (note that the options available here vary by
model).
The table is automatically sorted by rule precedence. The smaller and more
specific subnets are put towards the top of the table and have higher
precedence; larger and less specific subnets are placed towards the bottom.
Click the Add button to define clients and their user group. Click the button
to remove the defined rule. Two default rules are pre-defined and put at the
bottom. They are All DHCP reservation clients and Everyone, and they cannot
be removed. The All DHCP reservation client represents the LAN clients defined
in the DHCP Reservation table on the LAN settings page. Everyone represents all
clients that are not defined in any rule above. Click on a rule to change its
group.
Add / Edit User Group
Subnet / IP
Address
From the drop-down menu, choose whether you are going to define the
client(s) by an IP Address or a Subnet. If IP Address is selected, enter a name
defined in DHCP reservation table or a LAN client's IP address. If Subnet is
selected, enter a subnet address and specify its subnet mask.
Group
This field is to define which User Group the specified subnet / IP address belongs
to.
Once users have been assigned to a user group, their internet traffic will be
restricted by rules defined for that particular group. Please refer to the following
two sections for details.

18.2 Bandwidth Control
You can define a maximum download speed (over all WAN connections) and
upload speed (for each WAN connection) that each individual Staff and Guest
member can consume. No limit can be imposed on individual Manager
members. By default, download and upload bandwidth limits are set to
unlimited (set as 0).
18.3 Application
18.3.1 Application Prioritization
On many Pepwave routers, you can choose whether to apply the same
prioritization settings to all user groups or customize the settings for each group.
Three application priority levels can be set: ↑High,━ Normal, and↓Low. Pepwave
routers can detect various application traffic types by inspecting the packet
content. Select an application by choosing a supported application, or by
defining a custom application manually. The priority preference of supported
applications is placed at the top of the table. Custom applications are at the
bottom.

18.3.2 Prioritization for Custom Applications
Click the Add button to define a custom application. Click the button in
the Action column to delete the custom application in the corresponding row.
When Supported Applications is selected, the Pepwave router will inspect
network traffic and prioritize the selected applications. Alternatively, you can
select Custom Applications and define the application by providing the
protocol, scope, port number, and DSCP value.
18.3.3 DSL/Cable Optimization
DSL/cable-based WAN connections have lower upload bandwidth and higher
download bandwidth. When a DSL/cable circuit's uplink is congested,
the download bandwidth will be affected. Users will not be able to download
data at full speed until the uplink becomes less congested. DSL/Cable
Optimization can relieve such an issue. When it is enabled, the download speed
will become less affected by the upload traffic. By default, this feature is
enabled.

19 Firewall
A firewall is a mechanism that selectively filters data traffic between the WAN
side (the Internet) and the LAN side of the network. It can protect the local
network from potential hacker attacks, access to offensive websites, and/or
other inappropriate uses.
The firewall functionality of Pepwave routers supports the selective filtering of
data traffic in both directions:
Outbound (LAN to WAN)
Inbound (WAN to LAN)
The firewall also supports the following functionality:
Intrusion detection and DoS prevention

Miscellaneous Settings
The miscellaneous settings include configuration for high availability, PPTP server,
service forwarding, and service passthrough.
19.5 High Availability
Many Pepwave routers support high availability (HA) configurations via an open
standard virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP, RFC 3768). In an HA
configuration, two Pepwave routers provide redundancy and failover in a
master-slave arrangement. In the event that the master unit is down, the slave
unit becomes active. High availability will be disabled automatically where
there is a drop-in connection configured on a LAN bypass port.
In the diagram, the WAN ports of each Pepwave router connect to the router
and to the modem. Both Pepwave routers connect to the same LAN switch via
a LAN port.
An elaboration on the technical details of the implementation of the virtual
router redundancy protocol (VRRP, RFC 3768) by Pepwave routers follows:
In an HA configuration, the two Pepwave routers communicate with each
other using VRRP over the LAN.
The two Pepwave routers broadcast heartbeat signals to the LAN at a
frequency of one heartbeat signal per second.
In the event that no heartbeat signal from the master Pepwave router is
received in 3 seconds (or longer) since the last heartbeat signal, the slave
Pepwave router becomes active.
The slave Pepwave router initiates the WAN connections and binds to a
previously configured LAN IP address.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual
http://www.pepwave.com

At a subsequent point when the master Pepwave router recovers, it will
once again become active.
You can configure high availability at Advanced>Misc. Settings>High
Availability.

Recovery
This option is displayed when Master mode is selected in Preferred Role. If this option is
enabled, once the device has recovered from an outage, it will take over and
resume its Master role from the slave unit.
Configuration
Sync.
This option is displayed when Slave mode is selected in Preferred Role. If this option is
enabled and the Master Serial Number entered matches with the actual master
unit's, the master unit will automatically transfer the configuration to this unit. Please
make sure the LAN IP Address and the Subnet Mask fields are set correctly in the LAN
settings page. You can refer to the Event Log for the configuration synchronization
status.
Master Serial
Number
If Configuration Sync. is checked, the serial number of the master unit is required here
for the feature to work properly.
Virtual IP
The HA pair must share the same Virtual IP. The Virtual IP and the LAN Administration
IP must be under the same network.

LAN
Administration
IP
This setting specifies a LAN IP address to be used for accessing administration
functionality. This address should be unique within the LAN.
Subnet Mask
This setting specifies the subnet mask of the LAN.
Important Note
For Pepwave routers in NAT mode, the virtual IP (VIP) should be set as the default gateway for all hosts
on the LAN segment. For example, a firewall sitting behind the Pepwave router should set its default
gateway as the virtual IP instead of the IP of the master router.
In drop-in mode, no other configuration needs to be set.

Authentication
This setting is for specifying the user database source for PPTP authentication. Three
sources can be selected: Local User Accounts, LDAP Server, or RADIUS Server.
Local User Accounts - User accounts are stored in the Pepwave router locally. You
can add/modify/delete accounts in the User Accounts table.
LDAP Server - Authenticate with an external LDAP server. This has been tested with
Open LDAP servers where passwords are NTLM hashed. Active Directory is not
supported. (You can choose to use RADIUS to authenticate with a Windows server.)
RADIUS Server - Authenticate with an external RADIUS server. This has been tested
with Microsoft Windows Internet Authentication Service and FreeRADIUS servers
where passwords are NTLM hashed or in plain text.
User Accounts
This setting allows you to define PPTP user accounts for authentication via local user
accounts. Click Add to input username and password to create an account. After
adding the user accounts, you can click on a username to edit the account
password. Click to delete the account in its corresponding row.

The local keys will not be transferred to another device by any means.
19.8 Service Forwarding
Service forwarding settings are located at Advanced>Misc. Settings>Service
Forwarding.
Service Forwarding
SMTP Forwarding
When this option is enabled, all outgoing SMTP connections destined for any
host at TCP port 25 will be intercepted. These connections will be redirected
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual

140
Copyright @ 2018 Pepwave
to a specified SMTP server and port number. SMTP server settings for each
WAN can be specified after selecting Enable.
Web Proxy
Forwarding
When this option is enabled, all outgoing connections destined for the proxy
server specified in Web Proxy Interception Settings will be intercepted. These
connections will be redirected to a specified web proxy server and port
number. Web proxy interception settings and proxy server settings for each
WAN can be specified after selecting Enable.
DNS Forwarding
When this option is enabled, all outgoing DNS lookups will be intercepted and
redirected to the built-in DNS name server. If any LAN device is using the DNS
name servers of a WAN connection, you may want to enable this option to
enhance the DNS availability without modifying the DNS server setting of the
clients. The built-in DNS name server will distribute DNS lookups to
corresponding DNS servers of all available WAN connections. In this case, DNS
service will not be interrupted, even if any WAN connection is down.
Custom Service
Forwarding
When custom service forwarding is enabled, outgoing traffic with the
specified TCP port will be forwarded to a local or remote server by defining its
IP address and port number.
19.8.1 SMTP Forwarding
Some ISPs require their users to send e-mails via the ISP’s SMTP server. All
outgoing SMTP connections are blocked except those connecting to the ISP’s.
Pepwave routers support intercepting and redirecting all outgoing SMTP
connections (destined for TCP port 25) via a WAN connection to the WAN’s
corresponding SMTP server.
To enable the feature, select Enable under SMTP Forwarding Setup. Check
Enable Forwarding for the WAN connection(s) that needs forwarding. Under
SMTP Server, enter the ISP’s e-mail server host name or IP address. Under SMTP
Port, enter the TCP port number for each WAN.
The Pepwave router will intercept SMTP connections. Choose a WAN port
according to the outbound policy, and then forward the connection to the
SMTP server if the chosen WAN has enabled forwarding. If the forwarding is
disabled for a WAN connection, SMTP connections for the WAN will be simply be
forwarded to the connection’s original destination.
Pepwave MAX and Surf User Manual
http://www.pepwave.com
141
Copyright @ 2018 Pepwave
Note
If you want to route all SMTP connections only to particular WAN connection(s), you should create a
custom rule in outbound policy (see Section 14.2).
19.8.2 Web Proxy Forwarding
When this feature is enabled, the Pepwave router will intercept all outgoing
connections destined for the proxy server specified in Web Proxy Interception
Settings, choose a WAN connection with reference to the outbound policy, and
then forward them to the specified web proxy server and port number.
Redirected server settings for each WAN can be set here. If forwarding is
disabled for a WAN, web proxy connections for the WAN will be simply
forwarded to the connection’s original destination.
19.8.3 DNS Forwarding
When DNS forwarding is enabled, all clients’ outgoing DNS requests will also be
intercepted and forwarded to the built-in DNS proxy server.
19.8.4 Custom Service Forwarding
After clicking the enable checkbox, enter your TCP port for traffic heading to the
router, and then specify the IP Address and Port of the server you wish to forward
to the service to.

19.9 Service Passthrough
Service passthrough settings can be found at Advanced>Misc. Settings>Service
Passthrough.
Some Internet services need to be specially handled in a multi-WAN
environment. Pepwave routers can handle these services such that Internet
applications do not notice being behind a multi-WAN router. Settings for service
passthrough support are available here.
Service Passthrough Support
SIP
Session initiation protocol, aka SIP, is a voice-over-IP protocol. The Pepwave
router can act as a SIP application layer gateway (ALG) which binds
connections for the same SIP session to the same WAN connection and translate
IP address in the SIP packets correctly in NAT mode. Such passthrough support is
always enabled, and there are two modes for selection: Standard Mode and
Compatibility Mode. If your SIP server’s signal port number is non-standard, you
can check the box Define custom signal ports and input the port numbers to the
text boxes.
H.323
With this option enabled, protocols that provide audio-visual communication
sessions will be defined on any packet network and pass through the Pepwave
router.
FTP
FTP sessions consist of two TCP connections; one for control and one for data. In
a multi-WAN situation, they must be routed to the same WAN connection.
Otherwise, problems will arise in transferring files. By default, the Pepwave router
monitors TCP control connections on port 21 for any FTP connections and binds
TCP connections of the same FTP session to the same WAN. If you have an FTP
server listening on a port number other than 21, you can check Define custom
control ports and enter the port numbers in the text boxes.
TFTP
The Pepwave router monitors outgoing TFTP connections and routes any
incoming TFTP data packets back to the client. Select Enable if you want to
enable TFTP passthrough support.
IPsec NAT-T

21.1 Admin Security
There are two types of user accounts available for accessing the web admin:
admin and user. They represent two user levels: the admin level has full
administration access, while the user level is read-only. The user level can access
only the device's status information; users cannot make any changes on the
device.
A web login session will be logged out automatically when it has been idle
longer than the Web Session Timeout. Before the session expires, you may click
the Logout button in the web admin to exit the session.
0 hours 0 minutes signifies an unlimited session time. This setting should be used
only in special situations, as it will lower the system security level if users do not
log out before closing the browser. The default is 4 hours, 0 minutes.
For security reasons, after logging in to the web admin Interface for the first time,
it is recommended to change the administrator password. Configuring the
administration interface to be accessible only from the LAN can further improve
system security. Administrative settings configuration is located at System>Admin

download. The second method is to upload a firmware file manually.
To perform an online download, click on the Check for Firmware button. The
Pepwave router will check online for new firmware. If new firmware is available,
the Pepwave router will automatically download the firmware. The rest of the
upgrade process will be automatically initiated.
You may also download a firmware image from the Peplink website and update
the unit manually. To update using a firmware image, click Choose File to select
the firmware file from the local computer, and then click Manual Upgrade to
send the firmware to the Pepwave router. It will then automatically initiate the
firmware upgrade process.
Please note that all Peplink devices can store two different firmware versions in
two different partitions. A firmware upgrade will always replace the inactive
partition. If you want to keep the inactive firmware, you can simply reboot your
device with the inactive firmware and then perform the firmware upgrade.
Important Note
The firmware upgrade process may not necessarily preserve the previous configuration, and the behavior
varies on a case-by-case basis. Consult the release notes for the particular firmware version before
installing. Do not disconnect the power during firmware upgrade process. Do not attempt to upload a
non-firmware file or a firmware file that is not supported by Peplink. Upgrading the Pepwave router with an
invalid firmware file will damage the unit and may void the warranty.

The bandwidth bonding feature of PepVPN occurs when multiple WAN lines
from one end merge with multiple WAN lines from the other end. For this to
happen, each WAN line needs to form a connection with all the WAN lines on
the opposite end. The function of the PepVPN analyzer is to report the
throughput, packet loss, and latency of all possible combinations of
connections. Please note that the PepVPN Analyzer will temporarily interrupt VPN
connectivity and will restore after test.
